100MB connect speed on 1 GB network

[bernies]

Hello,

I am assuming, that the slowest component on a network determines the connect speed? I am having a small network with 4 pcs and 2 of them show 1GB connect speed while the other 2 show 100MB. What would cause 2 units to run at the 100MB speed on a Gigabyte-Switch and Router?

a 10/100 network card


if you transfer date between the two computers that connect at 1Gb, the transfer speed will be at 1GB between the two

Thanks Emerald! I concluded the same, but wanted to get a "second opinion". Thanks for your help. Are you from Germany?
